Jack Doohan was dropped from his seat at Alpine shortly after the start of the 2025 F1 season.
Jack Doohan’s father, Mick, criticized Alpine for their treatment of his son at the beginning of the 2025 season. Doohan joined Alpine at the end of 2024 and debuted at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Despite being retained for the start of the following season, Doohan’s future was uncertain after Alpine signed Franco Colapinto as a reserve driver. Alpine made a driver swap after just six rounds, moving Doohan to a reserve role before he left the team in 2026. Mick Doohan expressed his disappointment with Alpine’s decision, highlighting his son’s contract and emphasizing Jack’s determination to return to F1, now as a reserve for Haas.
